stress gone, brain go bye bye

I knew this was going to happen.

coramegan, I'm sorry, but it looks like your birthday fic is going to take me longer than I'd expected. I'm having a moment of complete writing panic now that my stupid fecking finals are over - I can't seem to write Zoe properly, all of a sudden. As usual, as soon as I actually have time to write, other things start going wrong. :P

There are plenty of other things that want to be written, too, as well as icons to be made, books to be read... it's going to be a productive Spring Break if I can just get my head in gear and working properly.

Reading list so far:
Equal Rites, Terry Pratchett
The Telling, Ursula K. Le Guin
Going Postal, Terry Pratchett
A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bob Bryson
A People's History of the Civil War, David Williams
At least one of those dratted "Daily Life" books that I'm always trying to find.

For those who haven't heard me go on about them, that last is referring to either this series of books, or the "Writer's Guide to Everyday Life" series. I loooove these books. They aren't necessarily the most intellectual way of doing research, but damn are they useful. I own only one of them, but I'm always digging through used bookstores searching for more, because they're not sold new at any bookstore I can find. The ones I want, of course, are damned expensive on Amazon. *Grumbles* So I end up checking them out from the UW libraries constantly.

Ooh, The Telling just came in at the library for me today. I hoping to be able to pick it up tomorrow after work. We'll have to compare notes when we've both finished it. Did you already read The Fledgeling, or did you not like it?

I forgot about it, honestly. I wrote that list at work. But honestly I'll probably just give it back to you - I'm not in the mood for anything as serious as Octavia's novels tend to be. :P

ok, no problem.

Sorry about that - I really thought I'd be up for it, but considering I've been having a hard time even finishing "The Telling" for the fact that I can't seem to put down "Going Postal"... I have a feeling silly reading is what I need right now. ;)

I'm really glad I brought those then, don't worry about it, it's so not a big deal. Just enjoy your break!
